密歇根州东南部占该州所有艾滋病毒/性传播感染病例的70%以上，其中13至24岁的男男性行为者（YMSM）是艾滋病毒/性传播感染发病率的最大负担。利用基于社区的参与性研究原则，我们开发并试点测试了一项基于网络的随机对照试验，旨在促进艾滋病毒/性传播感染检测（“连接！”）在YMSM中（N = 130;年龄15-24）。随机化的参与者完成了基线评估，并显示了测试定位器条件（对照）或定制的个性化网站（治疗）。在30天的随访中，我们发现YMSM在两种情况下的可接受性都很高，但治疗组YMSM的干预内容可信度更高（d = 0.55）。此外，30名参与者报告了以下测试，其中大多数参与者（73.3%; n = 22）完成了治疗条件，具有临床意义的效果（d = .34）表明干预的初步疗效。这些结果证明了干预的潜力，并表明可能需要进行更大规模的疗效试验。
Southeast Michigan accounts for over 70 % of all HIV/STI cases in the state, with young men who have sex with men (YMSM) between the ages of 13 and 24 encumbering the largest burden in HIV/STI incidence. Using community-based participatory research principles, we developed and pilot tested a web-based, randomized control trial seeking to promote HIV/STI testing (“Get Connected!”) among YMSM (N = 130; ages 15–24). Randomized participants completed a baseline assessment and shown a test-locator condition (control) or a tailored, personalized site (treatment). At 30-day follow-up, we found high acceptability among YMSM in both conditions, yet higher credibility of intervention content among YMSM in the treatment group (d = .55). Furthermore, 30 participants reported testing by following, with the majority of these participants (73.3 %; n = 22) completing the treatment condition, a clinically meaningful effect (d = .34) suggesting preliminary efficacy for the intervention. These results demonstrate the potential of the intervention, and suggest that a larger efficacy trial may be warranted.
